Posted: 2/5/15 at 12:04amParody musicals seem to be everywhere right now! SILENCE was great and I'm excited for REDRUM. But then I see that Scream and Cruel Intention etc etc are popping up in LA and then I just saw some stuff about an ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK parody musical! I'm a huge fan of the tv show so I'm skeptical. They have a song up which I actually really liked, but it's morello and she's my favorite character. Has anyone else heard about this show? Or thoughts on parody musicals in general?

SCREAM! has been around for a little, while, no?
I think parody musicals are fun but within reason. I think StarKid Potter had a fun novelty running, but there new musicals are not as exciting to me.

I think you're right. SCREAM! has been around for a bit. And that show also isn't original songs, correct? The StarKid stuff is a lot of fun... and Harry Potter was a great vehicle to earn them a following. Did you happen to see SILENCE? Have you heard anything about this ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK SHOW?
Also... AMAZING profile picture. Such an Angela fan. Just saw her in Blithe Spirit. She is such a theatre treasure.

Posted: 2/5/15 at 2:03amIf I remember right there was a reading of TWILIGHT: THE UNAUTHORIZED MUSICAL PARODY a few years back. Meghann Fahy played Bella and Jenna Leigh Green played Rosalee. I think there's an audio bootleg of that reading floating around in the interwebs.

Posted: 2/5/15 at 7:05pmIf I were more of a Twilight fan, I might be quicker to check it out. That's kinda why I'm geeking out about Orange.
